From: Metal concentrations in coastal sharks from The Bahamas with a focus on the Caribbean Reef shark
(A) Box and whisker plots highlighting the distribution of measurements for metals (mg kg−1, DW). Solid horizontal line represents the median, box limits are 1st and 3rd quantiles, whiskers are 1.5 times the interquartile range, and circles represent outliers. (B) Correlograms highlighting Spearman’s correlation tests assessing covariance between trace metal concentrations in Caribbean Reef sharks. Circles represent significant correlations at alpha = 0.05 level, size of circles scales with size of correlation (i.e., larger circles indicate higher correlation coefficient) coefficient and colors ramp illustrates whether correlations are positive (blue) or negative (red). See Table 2 for sample sizes associated with each statistical comparison. Correlograms were created in the R package “corrplot” (Wei and Simko, 2017).
